Manufacturer's Description

Garmin Approach G5, Golf GPS Touchscreen

Boost your game

Give your game of golf a boost of confidence with Approach G5, a rugged, waterproof, touchscreen golf GPS packed with more than 6,500 preloaded golf course maps. Approach measures individual shot distances, shows exact yardages to fairways, hazards and greens, and much more.

Eliminate the Guesswork

The touchscreen interface helps you decide the best tactic to get that perfect shot and improve your score by showing the precise distance to the green or other key course features. Approach's highly-sensitive GPS receiver pinpoints your position and removes guesswork from your game. As you move, it automatically updates your position, so you'll always know your yardage. Improve your course management with Touch Targeting; Touch any point on the display and Approach G5 shows the precise distance to that exact spot and the subsequent distance to the pin. Knowing your yardage is essential to feel confident laying up or carrying hazards. To check the pin position, simply touch the top corner of the screen and reposition the flag to correspond with the day's placement. In 'Green View' you can also see the accurate shape of the green and the yardages of any green-side hazards. Approach G5 also displays tree lines so you can work out how far it is to carry a dog leg or a tree obstructing your line to the pin. After launching a drive you can measure its distance using the 'Measure Shot' feature for bragging rights back in the bar. Approach G5 enables you to assign every shot measured to a club, providing an accurate list of average yardages per club.

Touch any point on the display and Approach G5 will show the precise distance to that exact spot and the subsequent distance to the pin.

Get more courses

Approach features maps of golf courses across Europe so you can see a detailed, hole-by-hole preview of your next game. More courses are being added all the time for free download - no subscriptions or additional set-up required.

Keep score digitally

Approach G5 doubles as a digital scorecard for your foursome. After the game, you can save and review the scores on your computer at home. It tracks your golf statistics, including putts per round, greens & fairways hit in regulation.

Pocket-sized Golfing Partner

Approach G5 features a 3-inch sunlight-readable touchscreen colour display which offers two simple options once powered: Play and Preview. The waterproof and compact unit can be easily used with just one hand and comes with a caribiner clip, which fixes onto your towel loop. Approach G5 also doubles as a digital scorecard for up to four players and stores your played rounds. You can review all your previous cards at the 19th hole by connecting the Approach to your PC or Mac. Approach G5 is compliant with USGA and R&A rules.

No Subscriptions or Set-up Fees: Free updates

Approach G5 comes packed with over 6,500 preloaded European course maps with precise vector detail - and more are being added all the time. You can check out and download the latest course updates at garmin.co.uk/approach absolutely free. Approach G5 also enables you to preview any of its preloaded courses to ensure you are never ill-equipped to meet the challenges of an unfamiliar track.

1.0 out of 5 stars So dull it can't be read 27 Sep 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I had this for my birthday and played with it for the first time yesterday. It was a dull, rainy day and I couldn't read the screen. Today was a bright sunny day and we played again in a four ball. None of us could read the screen. It has some excellent features - the touch screen with the ability to indicate a point on the hole you wish to know the distance to is a brilliant idea - but if you can't see the hole well enough to find the point, then it is no use. This is even more annoying because we watched the training videos and sales videos and on all of them the screen seemed bright and clear.It may be that ours is faulty in some way and we are looking into it, but at this moment I would certainly say that the one I have is not of merchantable quality.

FOLLOW UP REVIEW
We have now cracked the problem and feel that anyone buying this item should know how! The problem lay in the battery setting. As we had used normal AA batteries we set the system accordingly. Unbeknown to us, this puts the system on an auto saving brightness setting - if it didn't, it is doubtful that the unit would last an entire round. If you set it to lythium or rechargeable (even if you are using normal batteries) the screen jumps into action and becomes bright and clear.
We have now bought a charger and a set of rechargeable batteries and hopefully that will solve the problem. It defies logic though, as to why Garmin did not make the unit rechareable as per every other gps/phone/electronic system on the market.

3.0 out of 5 stars Garmin Approach G5 Golf GPS 3 July 2012
By VJS
This golf GPS unit is so nearly perfect. It has all the courses I have played on or wished to play on in UK and Ireland, and seems to cover everywhere from Italy to the Arctic. It makes club selection for those difficult shots over hazards a breeze - just go out and measure the real distance you hit each club so you no longer have to guess...
The display is good in brilliant sunshine, the machine is waterproof but...
you cannot see very much in rainy, dull light. Trying to peer at it while wiping the display clear of raindrops results in the touch-sensitive surface thinking you're putting in waypoints, so you have to keep stepping back.
Please fix it, Garmin!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rubbish golfers take note 24 Nov 2011

These things really do help, particularly when you are away from the fairway. Easy to use - rechargeable batteries last at least 2 rounds. Love it.
